Baldwinsville man faces seven years in prison for burglary spree

Syracuse, NY - A Baldwinsville man is facing seven years in state prison after pleading guilty today to committing four residential burglaries over a period of about two months last year.

Anthony Kingsley, 31, of 3266 River Knoll Drive, pleaded guilty before state Supreme Court Justice John Brunetti to four felony counts of second-degree burglary.

He admitted burglarizing a home on Russell Lane in East Syracuse Oct. 7, a home on Wendell Terrace in Syracuse Nov. 17, a home on Swansea Avenue in Salina Nov. 24, and a home on Kuhl Avenue in Syracuse Dec. 16.

Assistant District Attorney Kari Armstrong said Kingsley will have to pay restitution for the break-ins and an unrelated grand larceny case.

The prosecution wanted a sentence of nine years in state prison but Brunetti offered Kingsley the lesser seven-year deal for pleading guilty to the entire indictment.
